If Lethal League left you wanting more, this is where you narrow it down. Was it the sports or the competitive that hooked you? There is a list of just that. And if you play on PC, Nintendo Switch, PS5, PlayStation, Xbox and Mobile, filter by platform and skip the games you could not play anyway.
Sometimes what you want is not a Lethal League look-alike but simply the best 2D Fighting Games there are.
